To all whom, 216 may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. TATUM, of New York city, county and Stateof New York, have invented an Improved Breast-Pump, of

i which the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptioh, referencebeing made to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is asectional side view of the improved breast-pump. Fig. 2 is across-section of the same, showing the receiving-vessel detached.

This invention relates to a breastpump for women, and has for its objectto make its construction economical and to render it convenient to cleanthe same.

The invention consists in combining the elastic body of the breastpunipwith a detachable receiving-vessel, as hereinafter more fully described.a

In the drawings, A represents the body of the breast-pump, whichis madewholly of india-rubber or analogous elastic substance, and which iscomposed'of the breast-shield a, neck Z), and bulb 0. At the neck it hasa down wardly-projecting nipple, d.

B is the vessel for receiving the milk. This vessel is made of glass orof other transparent or translucent substance, and has a neck, 0,

by which it can be suspended from the nipple cl, in the manner shown inFig. 1. a

In using the pump it is placed with the mouth a against the breast, andthe bulb c is then alternately compressed and let go, thereby drawingthe milk, which flows into the Yes sel B. The latter being transparentor translucent rcnders it easy to see how much milk is being drawn. Itcan then be detached from the body A, emptied, and thoroughly cleaned.

I am aware that breastpu mps have already been made with undetachablereceiving-vessels. Such I do not claim. difficult to make, and thereforeexpensive, and difficult to clean, and therefore injurious.

lhe body A of a breast pump, which consists of the breast-shield a, neck2'), bulb c, and nipple d, all made in one piece of elastic substance,in combinationwith the transparent or translucent receiving-vessel B,which is adapted to be suspended from said nipple d, substantially asherein shown and described.
